I know. Butler i could maybe understand even though its weakening the batting. It the end he's wicket keeper and you ought to be able to survive that. But to dismantle your bowling attack and send in guys who haven't even a sniff of game time sees the type of thing only a blazer would do.
Jimmy has to be managed carefully. He's 38 and it's ****ing hot over there. We want to hold on to him for one more Ashes series if humanly possible. Bess is very hot and cold.
rightly spanked. Butler and bess and anderson must be quite angry given their efforts to win the first test.
moeen alli has ****ed off home saying he wants out of the bubble. errrrrmmmmm wasn't this discussed prior to this test and if so why the **** was bess dropped for him? utterly pointless and stupid IMO thats alli's test career over. same as panasar.
Did you expect us to put on a nice opening partnership? 1 spinner in the team, plus root. Interesting given the last game was a spinner paradise.
Oh look... 2 down Have to feel maybe we haven’t got the team right when the home team are playing 3 spinners and we have leach... Gonna be a long 5 days for archer stokes Anderson and broad (if it goes that far)
Can’t even use the pitch as an excuse this time. Won the toss, chose to bat. Just can’t play the spinners
Not sure how England can complain about that ‘catch’ from stokes. Looks like it clearly hit the ground
it their own fault. they needed to apply pressure to india last time. india are on a roll on their home patch and are now steamrolling england. They've taken a look at what happened first game and have torn england batting technique apart. Root being eveven every ball licking under the sun looks a bit sill now lol but the silliest thing is whos sat on the beach right about now england have royally, and i mean royally, screwed up with this resting stustem send home the only spinner who cause much trouble, send home buttler. HMMM
